Leather perfume, the leather family
The leather family evokes worked leather: tanned hide, a jacket, saddle leather. Leather does not exist as a natural raw material in perfumery. Perfumers recreate it with accords, for example from birch tar, styrax or labdanum.
The facets of leather
Suede leather is soft, supple and powdery. Smoky leather, from birch tar, is drier and darker. Each house chooses its own nuance.
A leather perfume for women or for men
Leather is unisex. For women, it is often softened by flowers such as iris or rose, or by powdery and vanilla notes.
When to wear a leather perfume
Leather is a note with character, much appreciated in autumn and winter, but it can be worn in every season. It lasts a long time on the skin.
